摘要:
A memory cell has an access transistor and a capacitor with an electrode disposed within a deep trench. STI oxide covers at least a portion of the electrode, and a liner covers a remaining portion of the electrode. The liner may be a layer of nitride over a layer of oxide. Some of the STI may cover a portion of the liner. In a memory array a pass wordline may be isolated from the electrode by the STI oxide and the liner.

By controlling buried plate doping level and bias condition, different capacitances can be obtained from capacitors on the same chip with the same layout and deep trench process. The capacitors may be storage capacitors of DRAM/eDRAM cells. The doping concentration may be less than 3E19cm−3, a voltage difference between the biases of the buried electrodes may be at least 0.5V, and a capacitance of one capacitor may be at least 1.2 times, such as 2.0 times the capacitance of another capacitor.
摘要:
A trench capacitor and related methods are disclosed including a trench having lateral extensions extending in only one direction from the trench filled with a capacitor material. In one embodiment, the trench capacitor includes a trench within a substrate, and at least one lateral extension extending from the trench in only one direction, wherein the trench and each lateral extension are filled with a capacitor material. The lateral extensions increase surface area for the trench capacitor, but do not take up as much space as conventional structures.

Reduced scale structures of improved reliability and/or increased composition options are enabled by the creation and use of quantum conductive recrystallization barrier layers. The quantum conductive layers are preferably used in trench capacitors to act as recrystallization barriers.
摘要:
An improved trench structure, and method for its fabrication are disclosed. Embodiments of the present invention provide a trench in which the collar portion has an air gap instead of a solid oxide collar. The air gap provides a lower dielectric constant. Embodiments of the present invention can therefore be used to make higher-performance devices (due to reduced parasitic leakage), or smaller devices, due to the ability to use a thinner collar to achieve the same performance as a thicker collar comprised only of oxide (with no air gap). Alternatively, a design choice can be made to achieve a combination of improved performance and reduced size, depending on the application.
摘要:
A semiconductor device and method for fabricating a semiconductor device include providing a strained semiconductor layer having a first strained axis, forming an active region within a surface of the strained semiconductor layer where the active region has a longitudinal axis along the strained axis and forming gate structures over the active region. Raised source/drain regions are formed on the active regions above and over the surface of the strained semiconductor layer and adjacent to the gate structures to form transistor devices.
摘要:
A device and method for fabrication of fin devices for an integrated circuit includes forming fin structures in a semiconductor material of a semiconductor device wherein the semiconductor material is exposed on sidewalls of the fin structures. A donor material is epitaxially deposited on the exposed sidewalls of the fin structures. A condensation process is applied to move the donor material through the sidewalls into the semiconductor material such that accommodation of the donor material causes a strain in the semiconductor material of the fin structures. The donor material is removed, and a field effect transistor is formed from the fin structure.
